God's grace and the fellowship have allowed me not to drink for one year. This morning I was the greeter at my home group meeting. It is amazing to me that people even remember my name. I have greeted people new and continuous. A smile and a handshake, just as I was welcomed. I am not expendable. People care. Just as I look for that smile, that word, so do they. I am slowly becoming part of the group. Getting involved, being needed, needing others is ok. I just feel good. I am grateful.
Oh my goodness Kathy - a year already!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT YOU NOW!!!! I remember at the end of our last phone chat I was laying down under my big tree out in the back yard... and looking up at the sky, thinking how far away we were, but we were so close, because of this DISEASE! We get to be connected in such a way that feels like we're all a little family no matter how far away from each other, and that's so AWESOME! I love this fellowship - and that you're a part of it. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
